Thanks for the welcoming words from my Irish brethren.
The most likely scenario is that I will have contributed £70 towards the Irish public purse for a small booklet that sits unused in a draw, but it is a comforting thought and does, at least, give me some options. Next stage...get Mrs Hacksaw in? Have loads of kids? I am beginning to see how this immigration thing works! |

Passports in Ireland are not handed out to any mug who applies.
If you have Irish parentage and can prove it, you qualify for a passport. If you are not Irish and apply for a passport, you have to have worked in Ireland [paying tax] for a minimum of 5 years. The citizenship and passport will cost you 1120 euro's. |

Well if that`s how they are being given out it follows that they are being handed out to any mug that applies, as long as they are Irish?

 now now workrider they were entitled to fight for Britain because they were part of the British Empire.You are rightly proud. However the British Empire no longer exists and that means you are not entitled to an Irish passport if you are living and working in Britain Now its a great pity the Empire is no longer here, I am sure you agree. |

Blackrock Passports in Ireland are not handed out to any mug who applies. If you have Irish parentage and can prove it, you qualify for a passport I thought that if you had Irish grandparents you could also apply. Is that wrong? |
|
By:
Anyone that can have dual citizenship would be foolish not to obtain it. My son is dual UK/US because of his mum.

By:
Yes Aka - applies to grandparents as well as parents.

What about other countries?
Do the same rules apply? Or is this unique to Ireland? |
|
By:
Dont know about other countries Aka. Loads of Brits in Ireland concerned about Brexit and trying to get a passport just incase.
